Medicare Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS)
What is PFFS?
A PFFS Plan is a type of Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) offered by a private insurance company. PFFS plans aren’t the same as Original Medicare. The plan determines how much it will pay doctors, other healthcare providers, and hospitals and how much you must pay when receiving care.
*PFFS plans must provide you with the same benefits, rights, and protections as Original Medicare, but they may do so with different rules, restrictions, and costs. Some PFFS plans offer additional benefits, such as vision and hearing care.
